    Default How did MATT Hughes get the belt back?

    Anybody know what happened to BJ Penn. He isn't even listed with the fighters on the UFC website. And he knocked Matt Hughes the **** out!!! How did Matt get the title back anyways?

    Uh.....no BJ didn't knock Matt out. He beat him by submission with a rear naked choke.

    And the Bj answers your looking for are here:

    Did you even see the fight? Bj will be fighting a Gracies (forgot which one) on July 29 in Hawaii at the ROTR/K-1. he was striped of the title when he signed with K-1, because he was still under contract with the UFC. Matt got it back by beating I think it was GSP. If i'm wrong maybe someone can help.

    Well, it was both. BJ's a good fighter no doubt about it, but I too think it was more of Matt's dropping the ball than BJ stealing it. And, to whoever said you can't Matt the champ until he beats BJ, think of this: GSP just beat BJ and Matt Hughes took him out in the first round.
